Schreiber Aids SIA’s SPARC and VOI Committees with Their New Artificial Intelligence (AI) Report

Safeguards Consulting is proud to announce that our President and Principal Consultant, Mark Schreiber, recently contributed to the Security Industry Association (SIA)’s Security Practitioners Advancing Real Conversations (SPARC) Community, as an original draft author and content contributor. As a member of SIA’s Voice of Industry (VOI) Steering Committee, Schreiber played a key role in creating the new SPARC Intelligence Report: Guidance for Evaluating Artificial Intelligence Vendors/Service Providers. VOI and SPARC developed this report with valuable input from the SIA AI Advisory Board and the International Association of Professional Security Consultants (IAPSC). 

Among the others who contributed to the report are:  

+ Bobby Louissaint | SPARC Chair 

+ King Lam | SPARC Vice Chair 

+ Phil Jang | SPARC VOC Rep 

+ Julaine Simmons | VOI Chair 

+ Brad Aikin | VOI Vice-Chair 

+ Heidi Tripp | VOI Vice-Chair 

+ Josh Chin | VOI Member and Content Contributor 

+ James Connor | VOI Member and Content Contributor 

Overall, the report aims to clarify the specific AI technologies employed in various security solutions by establishing consistent terminology and educating industry professionals in their respective roles. Additionally, it offers a practical questionnaire for end users to utilize when evaluating physical security solutions, ensuring that all stakeholders have a clear and accurate understanding of the core AI technologies involved. Given that the content spans multiple technology areas and industry domains, this paper also serves as a comprehensive guide for navigating the complex landscape of AI in security. 

We hope this report offers valuable insights to support you in your role and that you find it both informative and helpful.

Schreiber Joins SIA’s Voice of the Industry (VOI) Committee to Assist Security Practitioners Advancing Real Conversations (SPARC)

Safeguards Consulting is proud to share that our Founder, Mark Schreiber, is furthering his involvement in the Security Industry Association (SIA) even more!  

Recently, Schreiber joined an esteemed group of experts to form one of SIA’s newest committees, the Voice Of the Industry (VOI) committee. This committee falls under SPARC’s umbrella of 3 bodies, which are membership, VOI, and support services. The VOI committee focuses on engaging with manufacturers, integrators, and specifiers to discuss industry needs, concerns, and expectations.  

One of the ways the new committee is seeking to grow and improve the industry is by assisting the Security Practitioners Advancing Real Conversations (SPARC) committee, which is also known as the SIA Technical End User Forum, with white papers to support large end users in and outside of SPARC.  

SPARC is a new community of security professionals brought together to support end-user technical practitioners with a large network of technical professionals. These professionals all seek to deliver impact in the security technology industry while also engaging and encouraging compliance with technology and industry standards. In addition, SPARC’s members are provided with state-of-the-art security technology research, training, and networking opportunities, among other things!
